The shape of the 17 and 19 are not really caught in these pictures - the 17 is a development of the 4000 but with more of a triangular shape - look at the other teaser photos for a side view - Specs wise it is also interesting. The Bl19 is also interesting - one could say you are only seeing half the story. The 18 has so far only been seen with the oak finish - better in black imho.

After what I have seen so far, I am somewhat disappointed with the "new" B&O designs. :(

I have to admit that I buy B&O products mostly for their design. But from what I gather from many dealers, I am not the only one...

I used to want products just after seeing them for the first time, sometimes by just looking at the pictures... Specs and price were not of primary  importance. I would find an use for the product and a way to justify the price to myself. ;) In recent years (starting with B&O Play), I just haven't felt that magic anymore. There just hasn't been a "revolutionary" design.

David Lewis created shapes, that nobody had thought of before when creating electronic products. Just looking at the Beolab 8000, Beolab 5, Beolab 3 and Beolab 11 made me want to have them. The same goes for the Beosound 9000, Beovision 5 and Beovision 7. They were just different and the Beocenter 2 looked like something out of Star Trek. :)

I know that design is a matter of taste and that is probably why there are also a lot of products designed by David Lewis that I didn't like at all. But at least he always tried to go new paths.

I just hope that the magic will come back, because otherwise I will be stuck with a lot of outdated electronic equipment one day.;)

I am still wondering why there are no details or rumors regarding the new audio system to be launched as well. More of a tablet-style than the current BS5... I can not be the only one with access to information from the dark side?

So this one is NOT confirmed? Only the speakers?

Glad to see the video has 875 likes on the B and O Facebook page and comments such as "brilliant".

On Youtube it has 5866 views and 28 "likes".

As seems to be typical of youtube videos, likes and dislikes are a small fraction of views. And not a single dislike of it at this point.

Or Price, unless there's been a radical up/downturn or the Pound Sterling?

Too long to list....
